...Butler,’” Sunaura quips. “For the queer eye,” Butler gamely adds as she winks at the camera.“Examined Life” is filled with many such animated and appealing moments, affirming Taylor’s implicit premise for the film, West’s declaration that “there’s ascertainable pleasure in the life of the mind that cannot be denied. You’re intensely alive...
...Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland are all scheduled to go ahead with a rather long process of monetary convergence in order to join the euro, overseen by the ECB. But, as it turns out, the current crisis renders impossible many of the conditions implicit in the plan, particularly when it comes to fiscal balance (which everyone is throwing by the wayside) and indebtedness (which has been a problem for a long time in the region).

Carefree chaos and defiant strength become nonsensical, not mysterious or intriguing, when nothing stands in contrast. Similar no-fi bands like No Age and Abe Vigoda express in their work an implicit understanding that powerful beats and electronic tones work best in the support of catchy tunes. “Wavvves” only demonstrates Williams’ failure to realize his impressive artistic potential...
